Custom Gunite Pools

Build the pool of your dreams with no limitations. Our custom gunite pools are crafted to your exact specifications—any shape, any size, any style.

What is a Gunite Pool?

Gunite pools are premium custom-built swimming pools constructed using a mixture of cement, sand, and water that is pneumatically applied (sprayed) over a reinforced steel framework. This construction method allows for complete design freedom—your pool can be any shape, size, or depth you can imagine.

At Pools of Houston, Inc., we specialize in building exceptional gunite pools that become the centerpiece of your outdoor living space. Whether you envision a sleek modern design, a natural lagoon-style pool, or a classic geometric shape, our expert builders bring your vision to life with precision and artistry.
